Survival:Beyond the Bug-Out Bag

By: Bill Bateman
  • Summary

  • We all agree that being prepared for an emergency is important. That's why preparing a "Bug Out Bag" that will allow you can grab and go can be a lifesaver. So I began posting information here over 6 years ago, and I'm updating that information regularly. I've also gone beyond the traditional products. Because creating "the bag" is just the first step to being prepared, not the final product. We now know we each need to have at least 30 days of essential supplies like food water and medicine. We must be our own first responders.

    I cover topics like:
    *Products I both use and trust.
    *Often forgotten items you need to have in your bag.
    *Psychological and Emotional planning for the family
    *Planning for Kids and Seniors
    *What to do when Plan "A" fails?

    This includes a curated list of links from a variety of sources too. I'll be sharing and updating links to sites I buy from and products I use. So we are clear, I have no sponsors, so the opinions, both good and bad, are my own.

    Join me as I begin the 7th year/6th season of productions in an ongoing series of podcasts for you and your family to use and to share with others as you build a community. Is this fun or what?
